The Smithaonlan Institution, dis cussing the project, said In part: "This three hour engagement. In which the French colonial troops were handicapped by lack of artil lery and the Indiana were supposed ly directed by Kngllsh traders, may hove hod a significant effect, at the time unappreciated, on the long struggle between the two empires for possession of territory between the Appalachians and the Mississip pi "The Chlckasaws long had been hostile to the French and friendly to the English. Bienville had plunned to crush them in a vise be tween his own troops and a French force under Uenerul d'Artaguette which was moving southward from the 'Illinois territory.' The latter never arrived and It was later learned it had been cut to pieces by a Chickasaw ambush The Indians had taken many prisoners and burned them at the stake. Defeat Considered Significant. "Henceforth. the unconquered Chickasaw constituted a serious ob stacle to French progress from their gulf colonics to the northwestward. Otherwise they might have estab lished a continuous fortiArd line west of the Appalachians between Can uda and the gulf. "After the battle of Ackta the Chlckasaws, members of that old Creek confederacy, remained In pos session of the territory around Tu pelo for approximately a century. They were one of the most progres sive of Indian tribes, but were un able to stand ogainst the southwest- ward expansion of the United States. "While primarily concerned with delimiting the site of Ackla, Collins will also try to locate other spots In the neighborhood significant In Chickasaw history." d ia g o n a l Six Month» of This Enough; She Sue» Let Bookshelves Hove Spotlight As Decorations By BETTY WELLS Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, like other governmental nota bles, lakes street collections In Berlin, Germany, for the annual winter relief fund drive.

"Pooh! That was nothing." re plied Danny, trying very hard to look as if he really thought it was nothing when all the time he was very proud of what he had done, as he really had a right to be. It was Just then that little Miss Nanny discovered for the first time his torn trousers and skinned tail. “ Oh. Danny," she cried, and her voice was filled with pity, "you are hurt!" “ It's nothing much," mumbled Danny, trying to hide his skinned tail. You know, that little short stubby tail has always been a mat ter of mortification to Danny. All his life he has wished for a long, handsome tail like that of his cousin. Whitcfoot the Wood Mouse. And now the little tail he did have was a sad looking affair, with half the skin gone where the claws of Reddy Fox had torn In when he had so nearly caught Danny. But little Miss Nan ny was all pity She made Danny lie down while she washed and dressed his wounds, and very care ful and tender was little Miss Nanny as she worked over the poor skinned little tail. Danny thought that Just to have ber fussing over him was worth all that he had been through. When he had been made as com fortable as possible they sat down side by side to plan what they should do and where they should make their new home, for they knew now that they could never be happy •*Sgain without each other. “ It is very nice here," said little Miss Nanny, who somehow couldn't bear to think of leaving her old home. “ But It isn't safe any m ore," said Danny in a very decided way. “ Red dy Fox will come hunting here ev ery day now that he has found us here. I think it will be safer over i where I live because I have ever so j many hiding places there." "But Reddy Fox will hunt there Just as he always has." protested j Nanny. "I don't see as It would be a bit safer there than here." Danny looked thoughtful. "That is very true," said he. "I tell you what; let's look for a new place to live, a place where no Meadow I Mouse has lived before, and where Reddy will not think to look." "The very thing!" cried Nanny, clapping her hands happily. "W e'll go home hunting just as soon as you feel able." "1 feel able right this minute," declared Danny, hopping to his feet "Let's start right away.” No, I'm not going mathematical on you.

And why not combine dining room and library? Nothing would give more genuine distinction to an other wise innocuous room than one wall with book shelves to the ceiling. If this happens to be the window wall, make a window seat between and add plump cushions. If it should be the wall against which you need to have your sideboard, that's all right too—books would make rather a handsome background for candle light and the fine gleam of silver. If you have a collection of books you're proud ot, there's no reason why they shouldn't have the spot light in your living room. Use them instead of the fireplace as the cen ter of interest—they're pleasant to gather around these winter nights. Or else sink a single shelf into the walls all around the room at about eye level or just below; this will give quite a smart design to the wall, particularly if you have in direct lighting concealed in the shelf. This is a little off the subject but It's worth saying—don't be diffident about discarding books. C B v B ettv W ells. — WNU S e rv ic e .

Foshay said the photograph, which shows a large trout with an even distribution of pelts over Its entire body, was taken by a pioneer Salida photographer. “ The legend is that the photog rapher snapped the picture to prove to coming generations the story of the fur-bearing fish,” Foshay said. "The pioneers say he was not a trick artist—and that fish with fur once were a fa c t All I know is what I see in the picture."

Helmar of Shamo- kin, Pa., could get a kick out of ghost stories. But not any more. Frank says the old spook yarns leave him cold now adays, and never again will any mere piece of fiction make the hair crawl up the back of his neck. For Frank went up against the real thing once, and now he knows what a scare really is. Hold onto your hats while Frank tells us about it, boys and girls—the strange tale of the Mumbling Ghost! Quite a few years ago—when Frank had just passed his eighteenth birthday—he began to get that restless feeling that comes to most young lads his age—the itch to travel. It seemed to him that there wasn’ t any opportunity for a young fellow in the little mining and manufacturing town in — y — In fishing for com plim ents you must use live bait.

Planned to Settle Down in Elmira. Frank didn't know where he was going, and he sure got there. For five years he wandered about in practically all of the eastern states, working In a factory here and a restaurant there, doing odd Jobs, and sometimes even landing in jail on suspicion of vagrancy. At the end of five years, Frank found himself work ing In a silk mill In Elmira, N. Y., and liking the Job and the town so well that be was planning to setUe down. He had even subscribed to a newspaper back in Shamokin and or dered it sent to him In Elmira. But it was that newspaper that proved his undoing For it not only set his feet to itching again, but also provided him with the most horrible shock of his whole life. It was Just a little paragraph, way down in the corner of a page, In one of the first papers that came to him from back home In Shamokin. but it made the tears fill Frank's eyes. His old pal. Jack Hasco, so the paragraph said, had been killed that day, and mangled beyond recognition. Frank felt pretty had about it for two or three days, and thinking of Jack also made him wonder how his other old pals were getting along. And he decided to go back to the old town for a visit. He arrived in Shamokin about midnight on February 14. 1929 The sky was dark and a storm was brewing. The wind blew fitfully and the NO FUSS RELIEVING COLD DISCOMFORT THIS WAY! last Folli« Sinpio Diretti»« I u l Ut» Fast-Attili lay* Aspiria It’s the Way Thousands Know 1» E ase Discomfort of Colds and S o n Throat Accompanying Colds He mumbled * j an outlandish language. few people on the streets were wrapped up in heavy overcoats and hur rying to get in out of the cold. Frank pulled the collar of his own coat up around his neck and headed for the East Side, where he once had lived. "It seemed strange to be back home again,” he says. " I had ex pected to find the East Side improved, but it was still the same old hole, with its blind alleys and poorly lighted streets. I was heading into an alley near my old home when I saw a dark form coming toward me. I saw, as it approached me, that it was a man, and thought it might be some one I knew. As he came up to me I looked closely at his face. One look at that fellow's face and Frank felt his body stiffen. “ I let out an insane scream ," he says, "and beads of perspiration began forming on my cold brow. My heart was beating violenUy? 1 was rooted to the ground! And that face was slowly coming toward me. Us eyes bulging in surprise and a slight smile com ing to its lips. Yes—you guessed it. It was my old pal—my dead pal. Jack Hasco—and he was mumbling! Mumbling something in some outlandish language that I couldn’t understand!" Falls Unconscious in Terrorized Flight. Frank fought to pull himself together. Gathering up all the energy that was left in his weakened, trembling body, he let out another wild yell and, with a leap and a bound, he practically flew out of that alley. “ Then I ran,” he says. "R an on and on. until everything turned black in front of me and I slid In a heap to the ground. When I regained consciousness strange faces were looking down at me. When I told them my story they looked in credulously at one another, said I was drunk, and walked away. I picked my,self up. brushed off my clothing and moved on." A little way down the street. Frank saw the lights of an all-night lunch wagon. A cup of coffee would go good after his experience, and it might help him pull himself together. He was sitting on a stool in the lunch room sipping his coffee when the door opened and another familiar figure came in. But this time it was a LIVING figure. Baldy Williams, another member of the old gang. Never in Frank’ s life had the sight of an old friend thrilled him so. "B ald y!" he yelled. And Baldy said. "Why, Frank Helmar. where in the heck have you been all these years." And for the next few minutes they talked about Frank's travels, but Frank wasn't long in bringing up the story of his strange experience.

NO ONE IS IMMUNE TO ACID INDIGESTION Friend Explains Weird Reunion. As he talked on. he saw a twinkle come into Baldy’ s eyes. The twinkle turned into a broad grin. Frank wondered why Baldy was laughing at him. Did Baldy think he was drunk too? At last Baldy put up a hand and laid it on Frank's shoulder. "Take it easy, Frank." he said. "D on't let this get you down. What you read in the paper about a Jack Hasco being killed is true enough, but there were two Jack Hascos In Shamokin. The one who wa,s killed came from the West End. Our old pal. Jack, Is Just as much alive as you or I." That sounded swell to Frank, but still he wasn't convinced. "But the m umbling!" he cried. "It was ghastly. Jack never talked like that!” Again Baldy smiled—a little sadly this time. "Well, that's another thing," he said. "Y ou see.

Talcs of the furry fin-flippers have circulated here since Zebulon Pike first glimpsed the Rocky mountains. Old-timers swear that trout with fur plainly visible on their sides once were numerous.
